Multiday Appointment Book Header Bar

The header bar along the top of the multiday appointment book window has the following buttons and functions.

Date Display / Selection

This field displays the currently selected date, and can also be used to move the display of the appointment book to a particular period. There are two ways to do this; by editing the date, or selecting a date from the calendar.

Edit the Date

To edit the date, click on part of the date to highlight it, such as the month.

You can then change the month by typing in the month number (e.g., 09 for September), OR you can use the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard to advance/reduce the month by one for each click.

Select a Date from the Calendar

To select a date to go to, click the button next to the field.

This will display the calendar:

Today's date is shown bordered by a red rectangle. Click on the date you wish to go to (in the example, December 25, 2008 is selected), and the appointment book will display the period encompassing that day.

If the calendar doesn't show the date you wish to go to, click the arrow at the top of the calendar which moves it forwards or back, then click the date required when that date is displayed.

Provider Display / Selection

The current provider is displayed next to the date:

To change the provider for whom the appointment book is displayed, use the buttons until the field displays the appropriate provider's code or initials, OR click the button to display the 'View Providers' window, from which you can select the appropriate provider:

View Providers window

The appointment book displayed is updated immediately to reflect the new provider selected.

Days Displayed

You have a choice of the number of days (and therefore) columns displayed. The example above shows the 7-day display.

You can also choose to display 5 days (the default), 14 days, or 28 days across the page.
